Falling in Love With A One-Night Stand novel Chapter 564

564 Escape

The drugs kicked in. And soon, Matthew felt that everything in front of him becoming a blur. As he sat down slowly, holding the table, Matthew said to Alicia, "You should go now."

"No, | can't leave you alone here. Let me help you up."

"No! You should leave now, Alicia," Matthew whispered. He then spoke something with all his strength

"What did you say?" Alicia asked as she helped him out the door. She had only taken a few steps into the courtyard when the door to the other room burst open. Then Alicia and the man standing in the doorway saw each other at the same time

At that moment, Alicia widened her eyes in surprise. She suddenly realized what Matthew had just said was, "They saw us." And she thought, Oh, crap! Why didn't you tell me earlier, Matthew? Damn it! We’re so screwed!

Half an hour later, Alicia was tied up in the corner of the room while Matthew had already passed out. And the kidnappers began their discussion

"What should we do to handle the girl?"

"Is she the boy's sister Tammy Wright?"

"Probably. I'll ask the boss what we should do about her. We're getting a lot of credit if she's really Tammy, right? We caught two Wrights at the same time!"

Alicia's heart began to race. Theyalso want tocatch Tammy? she thought

Outside the courtyard, Tammy and Natalie waited until midnight

Tammy couldn't stand up, so she panicked even more

"Did they get Alicia? | told you we shouldn't come here! Let's call Ryan and have him save her!" Natalie said

"I called him before we came here! But | had to do it myself because he didn't answer me."

"So, what should we do now?"

"Just wait a little longer." Tammy was nervous, but there was nothing she could do but wait. She felt bad for involving Alicia in this whole mess. /7 anything happens to Alicia, I'll never forgive myself! Tammy thought to herself ee

Awhile later, Matthew woke up in the back of a pickup truck. He then heard someone gasping for air. As he looked around, he found Alicia, who was sitting not far away

Alicia's lips were taped shut. As a result, she could only make whimpering noises. And Matthew crawled to her side and helped her in removing the tape. "What's going on?" he asked

After Matthew helped her remove the tape, Alicia exhaled deeply, then lowered her voice and said, "This morning, they threw us both in the truck

I'm not sure where they're trying to take us."

"Don't be afraid," Matthew said with a frown, “The road is unusually bumpy, so we might be on a mountain road rather than a highway.

Along the way, the truck came to a halt several times. And Matthew and Alicia suspected they intended to take them to the mountains and murder them. Panicked, Alicia asked, "How come they didn't kill us in Birmingham?"

Compared with Alicia, Matthew was quite calm. And he replied,"! suspect they didn't agree on this. Someone appears to want to take us alive."

The truck stopped soon. Then someone opened the truck door and threw two bags of bread and two bottles of water at them. "There's still a long way to go. Have something to eat, kids. You two had better not be planning on escaping! You're not going to fool me!" said the man who opened the door

Hearing that, Alicia began to tremble violently in fear. Sitting next to her, Matthew took her hand in his to comfort her. They heard a loud "bang" soon, making Alicia more terrified. To their surprise, everything then fell silent

"What is going on?" Alicia asked. At the same time, she wanted to look through the door

"Stay here. I'll go out and check." Matthew pushed the door open slightly. He returned quickly after looking out

"What's the matter?"

"He's dead."

In disbelief, Alicia asked, "Really? Is someone coming to save us?"

"I'm afraid not." Matthew appeared even more serious than he had been. If someone had come to save us, they would not have killed anyone

Perhaps things are worse than | thought, He thought to himself

Through the gap, Matthew noticed a man approaching them. The man was wearing a black mask and holding a gun, which made him look terrifying. The instant the man slammed the trunk door open, he found no one inside, which took him by surprise
